Idea

We recently moved to a new place and are still in the process of decorating. During our search we stumbled on a great deal for an IKEA desk. Unfortunately, we didn't need the legs in our setup but it still felt wasteful to throw it away. I therefore decided to try and use the legs for a coffee table in the living room since I liked the shape of the legs and the fact that they were prethreaded and came with mounting plates/screws.

Design

The table is designed using Fusion 360 and uses IKEA Godvin legs. The design is made so it can be printed without support material (the part that needs a little bit of bridging is invisible in the end). In the current setup it is 50cm wide and 40cm (394mm) heigh.

Requirements

50CM table top (I use 19mm multiply with HPL top and bottom layer)
1x 3D printed leg brace/table mount
1x 3D printed spacer ring
4x 3D printed feet
4x IKEA Godvin legs cut to 380mm (they unfortunately don't seem available at IKEA Netherlands anymore, but many people offer them practically for free on second hand websites. Adils alternative coming soon)
1x M8 nut
1x M8x25 bolt
(Wood screws to mount the mounting plate to the table top. You can use the ones that came with the legs depending on the thickness of your table top)

3D printing

All of the parts can be printed without support material on a printer with a bed size of 14x14 or larger. I used a Prusa Mini to print the parts using PLA at 0.2mm layer height and 30% infill. The total print time is around 17 hours and the assembly used approximately 300 grams of filament. The table feels very sturdy, but for longevity it may be better to print with PETG.
